More Badness Ahead

I was just on a conference call with one of America's top [paid] fund managers. He believes there's still more shoes to drop in the financial sector. He didn't say how much he has calculated in capital shortfall, but pointed out the IMF's $2.2 trillion as a good guess, which means we're only halfway there (around $1.1 trillion so far).

He also said some European banks are even more leveraged than American banks, and many emerging markets are just now having their shoes drop.

FUN times ahead!

* I should note he also pointed out Nouriel Roubini estimated $3.6 trillion. What a depressing dude.
